best ice cream in New Hampshire May 15, 2020 Beth Price-Williams What is the most famous ice cream shop in New Hampshire? Jordan’s Ice Creamery in New Hampshire, which serves some of the most delicious homemade ice cream in the state, just might be one of the state’s most famous ice cream shops. The charming Belmont ice cream shop has been dishing up its scrumptious homemade ice cream for more than two decades, making it one for the bucket list. With a menu of 200 flavors, Jordan’s usually offers 30 different flavors a day. Choose from such scrumptious flavors as salted caramel crunch and cookie monster ice cream. Don’t forget to check out the sorbet, cookies, and ice cream cakes before you leave. Where can I find the best desserts in New Hampshire? For more than four decades, dessert lovers have been flocking to Klemm’s Bakery in Windham for some of the best desserts in New Hampshire. The popular bakery makes its goodies from scratch, serving cookies, cupcakes, and cakes. You’ll definitely want to order a donut while you’re there, too. If you’re looking for a meal before dessert, head to 900 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria for a scrumptious pizza pie. However, save plenty of room for dessert because the pizzeria is famous for its dessert pizzas. If you like s’mores, definitely try the s’mores pizza. Can I visit any drive-thru ice cream parlors in New Hampshire? If you’re looking for takeout ice cream, try Dairy Twirl in Lebanon. Walk up to the window and peruse the menu that boasts a generous selection of Hershey’s handmade ice creams. Choose from such favorites as triple berry, lemon and chocolate, and thin mint. You can also find such classics as chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. For a massively delicious and huge ice cream treat, make your way to Ava Marie Handmade Chocolates in Peterborough. There, you’ll find a sensational 35-scoop ice cream sundae that will leave you (and your friends) stuffed.  The Mt. Monadnock sundae  comes with five different ice cream flavors and the toppings of your choice.
